Using Headphones with the Newest iPhones
Starting with the iPhone 7 series, Apple removed the headphone jack from its smartphones. To compensate for this, you have five options:
- Use the iPhone’s built-in speakers to play all audio.
- Invest in wireless (Bluetooth) headphones (or a Bluetooth phone headset), such as the AirPods or PowerBeats3 Wireless Earphones.
- Use the supplied Lighting to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter to plug your existing headphones (with a 3.5mm jack) into the Lighting port on the bottom of your phone.
- Acquire wired headphones with a Lightning Connector. The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X come with wired EarPods with a Lightning Connector.
- Link your iPhone with external, wireless (Bluetooth or AirPlay-compatible) speakers, such as a HomePod.
Note
Any wireless (Bluetooth) headphones or headphones with a Lightning Connector that you purchase for your iPhone will also work with any iPad model. As of late 2017, all current iPad models also still have a 3.5mm headphone jack built in.
